Just did W2 D3, 12, 13, 10, 10, 16
What has everyone managed for their exhaustion test? The final set for me always feels like an exhaustion test...but I guess that's coz it's the fifth set? I'm a bit worried I won't make 21 to stay in the second column...!?
Penny, you are my pushup twin!
I'll do my test tomorrow and I'll let you know. I would imagine you'd do better doing it fresh, rather than doing it at the end of your session.0 -
I did 22 (well kinda 21.75) pushups on the exhaustion test and physically couldn't have done another one if I'd tried...I was desperate to make it to 21 though!
Week 3 looks scary...but I am properly scared about Week 4...guess it serves me right for looking!0 -
Did W3 D3 last Fri. Maxed out at 35. Did some volunteer work Sat. raking and shoveling rocks, etc. Very tired and some pain in my left elbow and shoulder. Don't know how I'll do w/ W4 D1 tonight. Hoping I can work through the pain and stay on course...0
-
I got to 22 too. :-)
35 is very impressive! but if your shoulder is hurt, maybe take another day off?0 -
Bump for later...have to do this one!
I don't know about "properly pants", but "extremely sucky" at this about describes it for me. :ohwell:0 -

This is actually kind of a neat idea. I just downloaded a similar app for my phone.
Thankyou for the idea.0 -
I started this last week. They had me start on week three, but I think that was a mistake, because I could barely finish my sets and was extremely sore. I'm doing week three over this week and it's a lot easier.0

I see that im a day late! But id love to do this challenge with you0

Same happened to me. I just reset the program on my phone and started at week one day one. Even though it was easy I wanted the muscles to build slowly and get used to it to curb some of the soreness of just busting out with it in the middle. With that being said I do the total count if I can, then once I get to a point where I cannot do the total I'll start doing the work/rest cycle that it calls for. Same for the situps program0 -
W3D1 was done yesterday and it's going great! How's everybody doing?0

Paige people have just jumped in as they wanted to - we don't all need to be in the same place. good luck with it. :-)0 -
Wk1 D3 done - and my abs are sore! Still doing the cheaters version of push-ups, but have also started doing just a few proper ones, too, each day.0
